You, you told me I was younger (without you, I'm stronger, I'm no longer)
That I was filled with wonder
How wrong you were
For you, I would have gone so much blonder (my lungs were pulled asunder by)
Seen that wild blue yonder and said, "Let's end this, too"
So one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off
Grip the bathroom rug my skin's grown so soft (Get a grip, we're grown-ups)
Let's wander 'til the fuckers demand an encore
Flirting (wasn't flirting) at the back of a bookshop
Come and rip off my socks like you're blasting the locks off of a bank vault (halt)
This time we're done for
Let's hide under the covers
We don't know what's out there
Could be wolves
So hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I'd bruise you
I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you too
♪
Every stone you threw
I stood on to better see the view
♪
I've got something in my eye (I surrender what was)
Don't you ever wonder what could have been?
All those wonders sit in wait for us, we tried
Try, please, try for me (Tried my best to get thinner)
Come rest for the winter, wear my jumper all night long
Those songs we sung, those words we flung
For fear of sound
All those books that we both drowned
And the candle we lit
Well, we'll use it to burn this whole place to the ground
I'm lost, I'm found in you
Hide under the covers
We don't know what's out there
Can't you hear that scratching?
Hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I'd bruise you
I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you too
♪
Every brick you hurled
I'll use to build this world
This world, this world, this world
Let's hide under the covers
We don't know what's out there
Could be all our demons, darling
Hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I'd bruise you
I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you
So hide under the covers
We don't know what's out there
Could be ghosts or monsters or a robot-vampire, I don't know
Hold me, lover, like you used to
So tight I'd bruise you
I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you
I'd bruise you, I'd bruise you
